Here is a thread relating to a number of flocks of probably geese both in flight and on water in northern Illinois.

Awesome find! To be able to resolve single birds from outer space! Incredible!

A LINK to a flock of gulls near Levittown, N.Y. Not in flight or formation, but all of those white specs on the water next to the landfill have to be gulls.

The new images are pretty amazing rez. Im not positive on this but it "looks" just like a bird with roughly a 4' wingspan flying between some cows. Or a perfectly shaped and located piece of dust on the lens of the camera.

These ducks have either just taken off or just landed. Hard to tell. If it is the former, then do they count as "birds in flight" by implication? :-)

It looks like birds taking off - or at least their "footprints" on the water's surface. The picture below is of some American Coots taking off. There are Eurasian Coots in Germany. They have to "run" a long way to get airborne.

G'day Hill. Here i think you will find eight waterbirds landing on Allmanssdorf, Germany. Precision landing at its best.

There are a lot of flock's of bird's getting in for a free feed by following tractor's seeding their field's around this area.
